Orange Walnut Butter Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Position two oven racks in top and bottom third of oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, whisk flours, baking soda and salt together. In a mixer, cream together the sugar, butter and orange zest at medium speed until light and smooth, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of bowl frequently. Add egg and mix. Add one egg yolk and mix. Add remaining egg yolk and mix. Stir in dry ingredients just until combined.
• Scoop tablespoons of dough onto parchment, leaving more than 1 inch between cookies. Press each one down lightly with 2 fingers to flatten to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Leave any ridges and valleys on top of cookie intact, but smooth the edges.
• Bake about 15 minutes, rotating cookie sheets halfway through. Cookies should be pale but baked all the way through. Cool on sheets 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack and cool before storing in airtight containers up to 1 week.
• When ready to serve, make icing: Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Peel orange, being careful to remove only outer orange zest, and cut into thin strips. Blanch in boiling water 1 minute; drain. Sift confectioners' sugar into a bowl. Whisk in 2 tablespoons milk. Whisk in more milk if needed to make mixture thin enough to spread. Add extract, salt and zest, and whisk to combine.
• Place cookies on a rack and drizzle icing over each one (make sure there is some orange zest in each spoonful). Icing will settle into cookie crevices; let harden.

Steps:

• 1. In large bowl, add margerine, powdered sugar, white sugar, vegetable oil, orange flavoring, beaten eggs, orange peel, and nuts. Mix well.
• 2. In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, cream of tarter and salt. Add dry ingredients into wet mixture, mix well. Chill dough for several hours.
• 3. I use a cookie scoop to make cookies, then roll into balls, press down gently to flaten. Bake @ 370 degrees for 12 - 15 minutes, just until light brown. Do not over bake! This is a large recipe and can be cut in half if desired. Cookies are delicate and delicious...ENJOY!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease heavy large baking sheet. Blend butter in processor until smooth. Add sugar and process until fluffy. Mix in orange concentrate, orange peel and vanilla. Add flour and process just until dough comes together, scraping down sides of work bowl occasionally.
• Form 1 rounded tablespoon of dough into ball. Place on prepared sheet; flatten to 2-inch round. Repeat with remaining dough. Press 1 walnut half firmly onto each round. Bake cookies until just beginning to color, about 12 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks and cool. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, orange extract and orange rind until fluffy.
• Stir in the flour to make a make a soft dough.
• Turn out onto a floured surface; roll into a 1 1/2-inch diameter roll. (stated as printed in recipe). Note: I think it should mean a 10 x 8-inch rectangle and when rolled it will equal about 1 1/2-inch diameter roll.
• Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm -- about 2 hours.
• Cut log into 1/4-inch slices and place on parchment lined or greased rimless baking sheets.
• Brush with beaten egg; sprinkle with sugar.
• If using a convection oven, preheat to 275 degrees. Bake on top, middle and bottom racks. Bake about 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
• If using a conventional oven, preheat to 300 degrees.
• Bake on top and bottom thirds of oven; switching and rotating pans halfway through. Bake 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned.

Steps:

• 1. MEDIUM BOWL Mix together the flour, salt, cream of tartar and the baking soda. Set aside.
• 2. LARGE BOWL Using a hand mixer, beat room temperature butter on medium speed until it is creamy. About 4 minutes. Add the sugar, a little at a time, until it is fluffy. About 4 minutes. Add the eggs and grated orange peel and mix well. Add the nuts to combine.
• 3. Now add the MEDIUM BOWL ingredients to the LARGE BOWL a little at a time on low speed, and mix well to combine.
• 4. You should have a perfect cookie dough. Turn it out onto a large baking pan that is lined with wax paper. Pat the dough into a circle, one inch high. Place another piece of wax paper over the dough and set the pan of dough in the fridge for about three hours.
• 5. Using a small 1 1/2 inch scoop, scoop the dough onto the baking pans. No need to grease the pan, or pat the dough to shape the cookies. Any left over dough, bring it all together under the wax paper and pat it smooth and scoop the dough onto the baking pan until all the dough has been used.
• 6. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake the cookies for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly brown. I bake mine all at one time, using all four racks. Be sure to watch them closely so they don't overbake. Cool on racks. Store in an air tight container. Cookies can be frozen.
